BY CLARA AUGUSTA. Cousin Harry is as handsome a fellow as the most fastidious among my lady readers would babe vue gs bongs 1s saying @ great deal for cousin Harry, when one takes into consideration — of the 19th century. “ ‘“rry is a country shopkeeper—a e keeper, { mean; that, he sells pork, bent, ish, oil, molasses and such articles, on one side of the Store, and calicoes, de laines, sheeting, muslins and a few silks, on the other side. Harry's custom was very extensive. A hand- some young man in a store isin himself a sort of sign, and a good-looking clerk is worth a hundred dollars a year more than an ugly one. It isa lamentable fact, and I am sorry to re- cord it; but it is so. Last summer I was up at Uncle John’s; but the fine strawberries and raspberries with which the kitchen garden abounded were not despised by me. One capiaan | Harry received an urgent sum- mons to attend the County Court in a ueighbor- ing town, a3 a witness in an important case. He was obliged to go off in a burry, and having no time to look up a substitute in his store,appoint- ed me to the dignity. - “* You can’t fail of doing right, Charley,” said he, patronizingly; “the goods are all marked in plain figures—that is, the dry goods; and then molasses sells for fifty cents, sugar ten to four- teen cents. and butter is worth a shilling, store pay; and, mind you, Charley, eggs are twenty cents a dozen, but don’t take any unless they'll sink readily in cold water—they may be rotfen, you know; and the butter, too, don’t take any without i: g 8 fork into each ball to try it; it might be rancid; and, above and over all, my boy, be polite to the eg girls. Good bye’’— and Harry put the big brass key of the store (an insignia of authority) into my hand, and leaped into the cab which was to take him to the depot. I felt somewhat dignificd—as it wero, pro- moted from the rank of a private to that of a captain—and I went up to my room at Uncle John’s, for a survey of my toilet. I am rather a good-looking fellow, myself, though some pore think it vanity in myself to mention it; at all the girls say so, and it is generally eon- ceded that they are competent judges. _ By way of enhancing my personal attrac- tions, I added to my dress a pair of wrought wristbands, (don’t laugh, unfeeling reader; they were embroidered and presented to me by @ lady friend,) and giving a parting twist to my moustache, [ sullied out. The morning was fresh and fair—no grim clouds cast their boding shadows over the earth—and all promised fair for my success. [ arranged myself behind my counter, and waited for customers. Customer No. l entered. She was a middle aged os to buy de beige for her “ darter’s gownd. _I was all alacrity to fulfil her commands. E piled the counters with what I supposed te be de beige, a sort of thin, glossy, rattling stuff; and with all my eloquence I expatiated on its wonde-ful merits. “There's silk in it, ain’t there?” querried the old lady, putting on-her Spectacles for a closer examination, ** Miss Moss, our dressma- ker, said so!” “Silk! to be sure there is!” said I, imme- ue, (it doesn’t do to con- f lk! why it’s all silk, the real, fine Italian boiled silk, sewing silk, marm, imported expressly for your daughter's wear! It'll last an age!” ~ Weill, she il want it to wear a pretty good spell, I reckon; a body ean’t afford to buy a gownd every dy, you know !”* “ Of course not, marm; of course not! But this will look sweetly on your pretty daughter, no doubt she's pretty—resembies her mother. 1 dare say'’ I heard it said that a little judi- cious tiattery never comes amiss with the ladies ~* Law, bless your heart, sir, Sally ain’t no- wise handsome! she ain't nigh as good looking as [ was in my young iays' her nuse is too crooked, and ber hair is red! but then Sam Jackson thinks she’s splendiferous! That's what he says, at any rate.” “No doubt, marm, but Mr. Jackson is a man of taste—probably « connection of An- drew Jackson, the patriot and President! How many yards would you like!” and I flourishel the yard stick with a professional air, which would bave done credit to cousin Harry him- self. ~ Ob, stop a minit, I ain’t decided about it yet. What's the price?” Very true; there must be a price, I sup- boas but I had forgotten such a contingency. lowever, there would be no difficulty about that, for Harry said they were ail marked in plain figures, so I turned complacentiy to the ecard attached to the cloth. “eee i Very explicit.

I'd put it low enough, I thought, to induce her to trade; and it would’nt do to appear as it I dii’nt un- one my business. 1 might lose cast with r. “Well,” said I, “though it’s a great sa:ri- fice, really giving it away—I’ll let you have it for one shilling a yard. Dirt cheap ; but as it is for your pretty daughter, I'll put it down below cost! I would’nt do it,” said [, leaning down over the counter close to the old lady's green calash- -i would not doit for anuther persda in the world My answer seemed to please the old lady, and she turned the fabric over, felt of it upon both sides, tried the strength of its texture with ber thumb and finger, and at last gave the order: ight yards and a half, good measure, and silk to sew it up with.”’ Leut off the desired quanti skeins of sewing silk inside it: the lady paid for it in odd ninepences and si s id sixpences, and I bowed her out of the store. . i’ Enter customer No. 2 » folded six - A seedy-looking man, in a grey blouse, to get two cents worth of black suuff A searched arvund awhile am rious boxes and barrels, and at last pitched upon the strong smelling articles.

[ remembered Harry's jnjunction about the eggs, butter, cold-water, and fork-pricking; but for the life of me, | could'nt recoliect which was to be applied to the butter or which to the eggs However, I wanted ty oblige the pretty girls, so I took both butter and eggs into the back store, determined to do something with them, Alter » few moments consideration, I pro- cured @ fork, aud pierced each and all of the eggs separately—and the result was astonish- ing ' out of two dozen, six were positively in a state of decomposition; thirteen were occupied by remarkably well grown juveniles of the fowl race; and the remuining five were smel!- ing decidedly old. abe butter wouldn't sink in the water—do all L eould, pop it would come up w the surface again; aad 1 was obliged, though reluctantly, to decide that it wouldn't do to take either the butter or eggs. So I turned to the front part of the store again, bearing the pail of muti- lated eggs in one hand, and the butter in the other. “T am sorry—ahem! that is, [ regret that the eggs are wo—too old for our purpose; and the butter—we don't take butter now You should have seen the pretty young ladies’ faces blaze up! be one with the eggs muttered something about “city green-horn | aud the butter girl exclaimed aloud : “What better could have been expected from such « gosling ?"* 1 was fain to coneiliate them by the gift of three sticks of candy apiece, and telling them I broke the egys by accideut. After the girls, came au old gentleman in quest of pork. jong the myste- Ebening VOL. XI. WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1858. He wanted the “home made, native pork— none of yer Western hog cholera stuff.’ I made a tour of the uspicious-looking bar- rels in the cellar, gazed apprehensively at m: wrought w: nd ‘a barrel whic! smelt of pickle; and procuring a pair of | handled pincers from the coal bin, I made a plunge into the cask with them. Nothi whatever came up to reward my efforts ; and was making preparations for a second ive, when down came my hard looking friend to see how I was getting on. “Put yer hands in, ye abominable young dandy! What are ye @fraid of, I wonder? In with yer hands!’ My friend was a little out of patience with me. could not bear the Sprslltion of dandy, so I plunged my hands and arms into the piekle, and brought a whole layer of pork. {nstinetively I looked at my wristbands. Lucky that Isabel Richborn wasn’t there to look also? I tore them off and flung them into the furnace, glad to escape a second sight of their {air (?) proportions. ‘Serve ye right! "said my hard-looking friend with evident satisfaction, *‘a man has no bus ness with such flummy diddiee—parilsnlariy he goes pork fishing.” = = Iseized the pork and held it ready for de- tvery. “You'll have to trust me, I hain’t got the money to spare jest now!’’ said he, taking the purchase and making off. “Stop, sir, stop,’ I screamed after him, “none of that, we don’t credit.” The old man said nothing, but laid down the pork on a box, and went out. Directly he re- turned with Deacon Cutter and Squire Brown, with both of whom I was acquainted. “Ilere’s my bondsmen,”’ said he, leading up the gentlemen; “Squire, what’s my standin??”’ “Worth at the ieast calculation, Charley,” said the Squire, turning to me, “at the least calculation, two hundred thousand dollars.”” “And you wouldn't trust him for ten pounds of pork, eh, Charley,” laughed Deacon Cutter; “but that’s too good! ha, ha, I declare.”” So much for appearances. Ever since then, T have never seen an old, ragged man, belong- ing in the country, without saying to myself, “there goes a man of property.” After this, customers came in so fast, that it would be impossible to particularize. I sold almost everything, from silk dresses down to clothes pins and penny whistles. My success in drawing bargains was remarkable, and it was near sunset, and yet I had no dinner for the day. The fact of it was, that at dinner time, I was 30 full of customers that I didn’t like to leave the store for fear of losing a trade, and now I found myself possessed of a singular longing for fragrant tea and hot biscuit. I knew my pretty cousin Jenny would be sure to have both ready for me. 1 was just congratulating myself on my luck for the day, and thinking how surprised Harry would be, when he returned, at finding so much of his summer stock disposed of, when in rushed the identical old lady who had bought the de beige in the early part of theday. She looked furious, and bore im her hand a bundle, which seemed suspiciusly like the one she had carried away from the store that morning. “Hand over my money, it’s nothin’ but four pence cambric! Mrs. Moss, the dressmaker, seys 80, you young cheat of a seamp! yeu de- ceived me! Hand over my money, Paay!? Before I could get breath to reply the man who had purchased the two cents worth of snuff, made his appearance. ‘*Sir,’’ said be with dignity, “the snuff you sold me this morning, is villainous black ep- per, and my wite has nigh killed herself ta ing it! Sir, her nose is nigh large as a tarkey’s egg, and growing larger every minute.” Give mo my money!’’ cried the de beige woman. . ive me my money !”’ cried the snuff man. ‘Give me my money!"’ yelled a little ur- chin, climbing upon acrate of earthenware to make himeelf more conspicuous. “Yer sent daddy smokin’ terbacker instid of chawin’, and ma'm copperas instead of saleratus, and Tom and Polly, and the dog is pisened with it : and daddy's got the trimbles all over with the terbacker !”’ “Sir, Lealled to got my money !”’ said a fat man, in a yellow waistcoat. “you sold me indi- go instead of blue vitriol.”’ “Give me my money !’’ cried the de beige it Hand ! d the inf “Hand over my moncy!"’ cried the infuri- ated snuff man. -{ ca =e “Give me my—money—money—money !”’ roared the whole posse in chorus. I sprang over the counter, and nearly knock- ing down cousin Harry in the doorway, never stopped until I was sate on the sofa by the side of sympathizing Jennie. Harry told me afterwards that my day’s shop- keeping cost him fifty dollars, besides losing forever the custom of two pretty girls who had brought the butter; and highly offending the old de beige woman and her red haired daugh- ter, including the illustrious Sam Jackson. —————~2+e- OUR COUNTRY.
